Problem
The electric grid faces chronic congestion due to static offline models, limited transmission capacity, and lengthy interconnection queues. This results in renewable curtailment, under‑utilized assets, and reduced system reliability for utilities and large‑load developers.
Solution
Splight delivers a software‑only advanced transmission platform that layers AI‑driven real‑time control onto existing grid infrastructure. By ingesting high‑frequency telemetry and applying proprietary machine‑learning algorithms, the system converts generators, batteries, and large loads into fast‑responding reliability assets. It dynamically reallocates transmission capacity, reduces curtailment, and accelerates interconnection studies, delivering 2‑3× more firm capacity without installing new hardware. The platform also provides operators with live visualizations, predictive contingency response, and seamless API integration for downstream EMS and market applications.
Features
- Real‑time data pipeline that processes sub‑second grid telemetry and issues control commands within milliseconds.
- Proprietary machine‑learning models for dynamic congestion management, adaptive line rating, and synthetic inertia provision.
- API‑first integration layer compatible with existing EMS, SCADA, and market bidding systems; no additional field equipment required.
- Grid‑online AI™ electrical study engine that generates updated transmission studies on demand, shortening interconnection timelines.
- Unified dashboard delivering live topology maps, capacity forecasts, and automated alerting for reliability events.
- Scalable cloud architecture covering over 1,200 miles of North American transmission lines, supporting multi‑region deployments.
- End‑to‑end cybersecurity and data‑privacy controls meeting industry standards (e.g., NERC CIP, ISO 27001).
